Chapter 179 A Call from Mercenary Headquarters
"Hmm?"
Kyle's eyes flashed as he looked at them.
"Are you two being arrogant? Everyone is kneeling, but the two of you refuse to kneel. Do you have a death wish?"
Kyle burst into laughter. "Open your eyes. All of your people are kneeling on the ground. No one can help you now!
"You froze the Benson Family's funds, poached the core management, and caused suppliers and distributors to terminate their cooperation, but so what? I have the rare metal. The Benson family will rise again in four to five years!
"You're still full of yourself at a time like this! Now kneel down, apologize to me, and maybe I’ll spare your life."
"Noah, did you hear what Kyle said?"
Sea spoke up. "If you kneel down and apologize now, I promise to spare your life. Of course, there is one condition: immediately unfreeze the Benson family's funds and restore the cooperative relationships with suppliers and distributors. Otherwise, you will certainly die today!"
As Sea spoke, a sense of killing intent emanated from him.
"Noah..."
Mason looked at Noah. With so many people on the other side, it would be impossible to break through.
Would he really kneel down and apologize?
"It's okay," Noah said calmly, appearing indifferent.
Mason's gaze flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he felt much more at ease.
"You’re still not kneeling, Noah?"
When Kyle saw that Noah still wasn’t moving, he coldly shouted, "Do you have a death wish? You have one minute to consider. After one minute, if you don't kneel down, you’ll be dead!"
Sea watched silently, and the whole scene fell silent.
Tick tock...
One minute passed, but Noah still stood there with his hands behind his back, calm and composed.
"The kid has gone crazy from fear. Kill him,” Sea said nonchalantly.
The hired mercenaries aimed their guns at Mason and Noah.
They were ready to shoot.
Suddenly, a phone rang.
"Sea, someone wants to talk to you!" someone in the car shouted to Sea.
"Hold fire for now, I'll be back." Sea turned around and got into the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle.
There was a hired mercenary In the back seat. He was around fifty years old and had greasepaint on his face.
This was Abigail, the head of the super mercenary brigade on the Eagleland side.
Sea had recruited the hired mercenaries from Abigail.
At this moment, Abigail was holding a military phone.
"Who is it?" Sea asked curiously.
"I don't know, I can't tell who it is, but judging from the number, it's a call from the foreign mercenary headquarters." Abigail's voice sounded somewhat serious.
"The mercenary headquarters! They want to talk to me?"
Sea's eyelid twitched as he received a call from the Mercenary Headquarters, an organization formed by five mercenary groups at the southern border. Currently, there wasn't much conflict in the vicinity of Eagleland. To prevent clashes between the mercenary groups, they had established this organization to regulate friction, trades, and such, much like the United Nations today. The person on the other end of the phone, who was calling from the Mercenary Center, must have had a high status and position.
Sea knew several core high-ranking members within this organization. "Hello, this is Sea!" Sea answered the phone in a serious tone.
"Mr. Han, hello," said a voice came from the other end of the phone, speaking fluent American English. The voice sounded elderly and was probably around Sea's age.
"Are you Madison?" Sea was shocked and couldn't believe it. He trembled all over. This was unmistakably Madison's voice. He was the Minister of the Mercenary Headquarters, the leader who commanded the five major mercenary groups, and had tens of thousands of mercenaries under his command. Moreover, decades ago, they had faced a common enemy together in the same trenches and had a deep bond. However, times had changed. Sea had retired, while Madison had suddenly assumed the position of Minister of the Mercenary Headquarters at the southern border. There was a significant difference in their positions and status now.
“Yes,” Madison replied on the phone. “I received the news that you mobilized the Wolf Fang mercenaries stationed in Eagleland to cause trouble for a boy named Noah?”
"Huh? I didn't expect this insignificant news to reach your ears." Sea was stunned for a moment and then chuckled. "That Noah doesn't know his limits. He insulted the Benson family, and I was planning to have him taken care of!"
"What?!" Madison's voice suddenly changed, immediately becoming full of worry. "Has Noah been injured?"
"Uh, no." Sea was somewhat surprised. Madison seemed to be very concerned about Noah.
"That's good," Madison heaved a sigh of relief. "Pass the phone to Abigail, please."
"Okay, Madison!" Sea wondered what was going on as he handed the phone to Abigail.
"Hello, Madison!" Abigail said loudly after taking the phone. He knew the identity of the person on the other end of the line – he was the most prominent figure in the Mercenary Group at the southern border of Eagleland, equivalent to a great general in medieval Europe, and had immense power. Compared to him, Abigail, a captain stationed in Eagleland, was nothing more than an ant.
Abigail received a chilling and authoritative voice from Madison over the phone. "Abigail, Sea might have saved your father's life and we are indebted to him, but have you considered the consequences of casually offering him mercenaries?!
"In order to repay the favor, you are throwing the entire Fang Wolf group into a pit of fire. You’re asking for trouble! I’m replacing you as captain! I’ll find someone else to take over!"
"What?"
Abigail's face turned pale and he was taken aback.
"What is it? Do you have any objections?" Madison asked coldly.
"No, I’ll follow your orders!" Abigail immediately replied, "I didn't consider the consequences of my actions, and I should be punished for that!"
"Well, and withdraw all the mercenaries assigned to Sea. Mercenaries are meant for making money and seeking interests, not for seeking revenge for some despicable individuals! The older some people get, the less clear-headed they become, and the more trouble they stir up!"
Madison continued, "Furthermore, if Noah has been injured, take him to the best military hospital in Starlight City for treatment and care. We will reimburse all his expenses."
the Hernandez Wolf group had deep connections in the Starlight City combat zone and even had frequent collaborations with them, such as fighting against drug traffickers. So, this matter could still be resolved.
"Yes, Madison!" Abigail said.
"Well, that's it. Hang up," Madison said before hanging up the phone.
"Sea..."
Abigail looked at Sea holding the phone.
Sea had heard everything that Madison said.
At this moment, he looked unhappy, shocked, and incredulous.
'Madison actually called me a despicable person and said I was trouble?!'
Sea felt like all his strength had been drained by those words. His eyes lost their focus, and he was momentarily unable to react.
They had a deep and close friendship from decades ago.
But now, Madison had said these words to him!
He was definitely being humiliated!
"Sea"
Abigail spoke again, reminding him in a low voice, "It’s clear that Madison made this phone call to rescue Noah. If Madison himself is calling, it means Noah is not someone you can afford to provoke!"
Sea's pupils contracted and he finally realized the gravity of the situation.
Indeed!
Who was Noah? Madison had personally called to help him!
Sea thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out Noah's background.
But he knew one thing. Noah was definitely not someone to be messed with!
"Han, I'm sorry, but the order has been given, and I must carry it out," Abigail said, walking toward the car.
